^The first fighter of the reborn Luftwaffe was the Heinkel He51. This was an adequate design that was to bridge the gap between the the biplane fighters that were basically developments of the World War One era, and the revolutionary Bf109, that was to dominate Europe's skies for almost a decade.

^Heinkel's He 51 was a conventional biplane designed by the Gunter brothers. It first flew in 1933 and by 1934 the German Air Ministry (RLM) placed orders to equip the still-secret Luftwaffe with the fighter. By the time that rearmament was made public in 1935, the He 51 was the primary fighter equipping active Luftwaffe Fighter Wings (Jagdgeschwader). The Heinkel was deployed to Spain with the Condor Legion, where the type was flown by several future aces including Eduard Neumann and Adolf Galland. The biplanes had acceptable performance for their era with a top speed of 205 mph (325 kph). However, they were soon outclassed by Spanish Republican-piloted Soviet fighters, and superseded by monoplane fighters such as the Messerschmitt Bf109.

^The Heinkel He 51 represented the final development of single-seater biplane fighters in Germany. Its design incorporated evolutionary improvements over WWI aircraft but no significant advances. The rear fuselage, main planes and control surfaces were fabric covered and the landing gear was fixed with fairings. Armament was two MG 17 in the upper engine cowling firing through the propeller arc with the capacity for small bombs under the wings or on a centerline rack. A 750 horsepower BMW VI V-12, mounted upright rather than inverted (giving the nose the squared, top-heavy look characteristic of several 30's designs), drove a two-bladed metal propeller. Range could be extended with an aluminum belly tank. A seaplane version, the He51 B-2, was produced from 1936, as was a more specialized ground support (C) version.
